39x above normal background radiation. (3.979μSv/hr)
1329CPM
My normal background 34-36cpm or 0.07 to 0.1μSv/hr
Time: 03:00hrs GMT
Date: 28h June 2012
Location: South Hams, South Devon, England. Rain swipe off car.
Geiger counter: Inspector EXP+
Info:
After messing around with samples (see previous video) It stated raining lightly again but not for very long. I didn't manage to take the swipe for over 30mins maybe as long as 45mins after it stopped raining.
I really wasn't expecting 39x.
After the video I took the usual 10minuet timed count which came in at 995.2cpm (29x above background)
I followed the decay through 4 half life steps. The 1st 3 steps all showed a half life of 32.8minuiets which on the half life tables is Cesium-138. But due to a mistake by meself I missed the start of the 4th timed count by a couple minuets.
It was a beta emitter but also showed 2x above my background of gamma radiation. That was the highest level of gamma I have measured in a sample so far if my memory serves me well. It peaked up as high as 76cpm in just gamma but averaged 2x (66cpm).
As always I am not saying it was Cs-138 but the half life did point to that.
Weather:
The jet stream was at 03:00hrs was over the southern half of England and more importantly the speed of the air was very slow.
Winds were very light. I couldn't say for certain for the maps I used if the low level winds were coming from France or not. More learning needed.
I mentioned that I could see so lightening in the distance but it was far away up North West of me and was very faint and I heard no thunder claps. This was not a system effecting me.
That's it.
(once again I am sorry for not being able to reply yet I will catch up with comments, thank you for your support and kind words)
Be wise & be safer :-)
